It seems simple enough for most of us to buy a cup of coffee. However, such tasks can be worrying for people who _______ disabilities. That’s why it’s so heart-warming to see the story—a barista(咖啡师) does something small to make life a little _______ for someone who is deaf.

Ibby Piracha _______ his hearing when he was only two, and now he goes to a local cafe to order a cup of coffee at least three times a week. _______ all the baristas have remembered his order, Ibby always writes his order on his phone and _______ it to the barista.

One day, however, one of the baristas did something that _______ everything! After Ibby ordered his coffee, he was _______ when barista Krystal Payne handed him a note in reply. “I’ve been learning ASL(American Sign Language) just so you can have the same experience as everyone else,” the note read. Krystal then asked Ibby in sign language _______ he would like to order. Ibby was touched that she would learn sign language just to help him feel _______.“It is really a ________ different language and it was something that she wanted to do because of me! Because I was a deaf ________!” Ibby said. Krystal had spent hours watching videos so that she could learn enough sign language to give Ibby the best ________! “My job is to make sure people have the experience they ________ and that’s what I gave him,” Krystal says.

Ibby took a photo of the note and shared the story online. It ________ quickly and got hundreds of likes. He sees Krystal’s kind action as a(n) ________ from the hearing world. Ibby still loves to visit the coffee shop, saying “It is something that gave me real happiness—even now, I’m still smiling.”

It was last June. I went into a supermarket to buy some vegetables when a young man asked me, "Can you tell me where the ______ counter (柜台) is?"

I asked, "Do you need a ______?"

"Sure, thank you." he answered.

I was ______ that he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk.

He smiled and said, "These are ______ my street dogs. Today I want to be a Santa for them." I said, "Well, it's too ______ for you to be a Santa. It is still June and Christmas comes in ______."

He ______ at me for a second, but he left the counter without ______ anything.

Suddenly, we met ______ at the bread counter.

But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us. He is always ready to help us at any time, no matter (不管) which month it is. Maybe when you offered a trolley to me, there was a Santa in you.
